|This invention relates to improvements in neckties, and more particularly it pertains to the manufacture of neclrties of the made up type. 5 It is an object of the invention to provide I a novel lining about which suitable material may be formed to provide a tie of the desired type i` It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel lining for bow ties, which will maintain the bow loop of thev tie in proper extended position to maintain a neat appearance at all times.

The invention will be clearly understood from the accompanying drawing, and the following detailed description of the construction therein shown.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, Figure l, is a view in elevation of a bow type iiecktie constructed in accordance with the present invention, l

Figure 2, is a view in elevation of one `lorm of lining, h

Figure 3, is an edge view of the lining shown in Figure 2,

Figure 4:, is a plan view of a slightlymodb fied form of lining, n

Figure 5, isa detail view ofv a portion of the lining shown in Figure 4, and taken on the line 5-5 thereof,

ligure 6, is a plan view of a still further modilied form of lining, and

Figure 7, is a detail view partly broken away of that forni of lining shown in Figure 6. v

Referring speciiically to the drawings, the numeral l0 designates the bow of a necktie, and 1l designates the conventional necxband thereof. .v

The bow 10 is formed about a lining as illustrated in this application, and said lin-ing consists of a substantially rectangular body portion 12 of semi-rigid material, such for` example, as buckram. h Y

Means is provided to at all times maintain the loopsof the bow 10 1n extended position, and in the form of the inventionnillustrated in Figures 2 and 3, this-means comprises looped sections 18 of a suitable elastic material, and relatively thinsheet rubber n iaazfia orifice I i v ggx 193e.v "serial No. 445,380.

has'been fioundvery adaptable for this purpose.V Sections'ofsuch rubber are cut to desired shapes and size, after which they are folded upon themselves and secured tothe ends' of the body portion l2 by stitching, stapling o-ifin any otherv suitable manner as indicated vat 14 insaid figures. In securing the looped sections 13' to the body portion l2 of the lining, the` ends of the body portion occupy positions within their respectiveA loopedlsections, the point ofatta'chment of each looped section to the body portionbeing slightlyA spaced from its respective end thereof. l Y l In that form of the inventionillustrated in Figures l and 5, the loop extending members are designated 20,1and in this form of the invention, these members are of relatively long narrow form, extend transversely of the body portion V1210i the lining and are preferably `of a relatively softer pliable inaterialjsuch as a knitted fabric. These members Q() are preferably formed by folding-.inwardly', two opposed side edges of a blank of suitable material, thus forming two :rolled portions y2l connected together by av looped portion 23 as illustrated in Figure 5. The members 2O are secured to the body portion l2 by positioning ,the latter between the rolls 21 after which they may be secured together by stitching,.stapling or the like such as 24, andl said fastenings 24 preferably extend throughout theV entire length of the members 20 to prevent -unrolling of the rolled portions thereof.

ln that form of the invention illustrated in n FiguresG and 7, the looped extending members are designated by the numeral 30. These members B0` are preferably formed from elastic material as in the form illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. 'In this form illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, however, the bow extending members are secured at one of their ends only to the body portion l2, as indicated at 3`1. The free end 32. of thesev members,y when they are formed into loops 4 as indicated in dot-ted line in Figure 7, en-

gagesthebody portion 12y upon the opposite face to which the members are secured,and

Gil

preferably the free ends 32 are movable with relation to said body portion.

While the invention has been herein shown in what is at present considered its preferred forms, it is obvious that it may be practiced in various other forms which fall within the scope of vthe appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by .United States Letters Patent, is:

1'. A form for use in the manufacture of made .up neclties of bow form, comprising a substantially rectangular body portion, an elongated bow loop forming member secured to each end of said body portion, and eX# tending transversely thereof, said bow loop forming members each comprising a relatively soft material rolled upon itself into` elongated form.

2; A form for use in manufacturing made up neclities of bow form', comprisingaV substantially rectangular body portion, an elongated bow loop forming member secured to the ends of said body portion, and extending transversely thereof, said bow loop forming members each comprising a piece of relatively soft material rolled from opposite sides inwardly of the body portion and embracing the ends ofthe rectangular body. e

3. A form or lining for use in the manufacture of made upneclties of bow form, comprising a substantially rectangular body portion, an elongated bow loop forming member securedto the ends of said bodyv portion, and extending transversely thereof, said bow loop forming members each comprising apiece of relativelysoft material rolled from opposite sides inwardly lof the body portion and embracing the ends of the rectangular body,rwith a rolled portion disposed upon each of the oppositeV sides of said rectangular body.

In testimony whereof we aliix our signatures. f
